Your guide to everything under the moon, the Amber Moon, for 6/19/23
This month I got offered the opportunity to do something that completes a circle. I started my running career with middle & high school cross country & track. I got invited to coach Holy Family middle school cross country a few weeks ago. At first I was like “when could I fit that in??? I can’t do that…”, and then, an hour later, I figured out I only really needed to move 1 thing and shift another, and I could in fact return to my roots. So for 10 weeks this fall, I’m shifting my schedule. And coaching middle school cross country.
I’m excited! Think of all these little people I get to influence! I get to make running FUN for them. Hopefully I can give them something they will enjoy for years to come. While I’m “only” the assistant coach, you never know where this will lead!
October 14th is the final meet, which helped pick when…
Knee #2 becomes bionic
My right knee is finally far enough along that I got permission to schedule knee #2. I planned it so holidays give me a break along the way as I resume normal work, after I take a full 2 weeks off this time right after surgery (please see Studio closings below). Yes, it will also be the return of cousin Amy!
Texas Mamma Jamma training update
Why am I doing this?
I’ve been fortunate enough not to have cancer. I’ve had a lot of blunt force trauma. But I can still move. I can still get out there. I’ve got 1 bionic knee, and a 2nd scheduled. Not everyone going thru cancer has the ability to get out & bike/walk/swim/move, for a variety of reasons.
Last year I swam for the American Red Cross. This year, I’m biking for something closer to home – the Big Pink Bus. Getting mammograms out into communities that might not have access. Everyone deserves a chance to make sure they stay healthy. Yeah, Texas Mamma Jamma is a big deal here in Taylor. A client commented on this the other day. Right here in my community.
Your support graciously accepted 9/15/2023. If you prefer, you can send to me, and I’ll add it to the fund – just specify that it’s for Texas Mamma Jamma!
Austin Studio space available to sublet
For a variety of reasons, the Austin studio is now leased by ME! and I’m looking for other massage therapists or similar to sublet.
Maybe someone that needs some space to meet with clients in Austin? They’ll have the massage table as a nice work space that can be pushed up against the wall. Please pass along if you know someone!
